Does anybody know how to off-load an Asterisk Box so that to distribute its functions like IVR and VoiceMail or its PTSN gateway function into different servers? in this case , will the installation of Asterisk on each server differe and how these different servers will interact as a single logical -vs physical- server? thx alot -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hmmm, IMHO this is a fundamental SIP architecture issue. To meet my understanding of distribution, this would required a proxy function before the call "answer()" on the Asterisk. If , in an ideal world, this proxy function were to be in the path before answer(), the proxy would need added intelligence to examine the INVITE and deduce from it's content the need for IVR or VoiceMail. This is an Active Call Director functionality. IMHO, this well within the capabilities of several SIP proxy packages available today. Once answered, the Asterisk will remain in the call path. If that is ok in your need for distribution, you can push the call onward via any Asterisk dialplan extension to be serviced by a whole farm of other Asterisks for specific chores. ..mike..

I try to break up functionality as much as possible on separate boxes. Basically, you just want to load just the modules and applications you need on that particular box in modules.conf.

Is Sugar CRM the best Free CRM to be integrated with Asterisk ? Is Asterisk VoiceRD Integration the best integration patch to be used with Sugar CRM ? Is any other ? Regards, Fernando

i guess you will put multiple asterisk servers then create iax2 trunks between all of them then the right dialplans would make the job. for example if one server will be for voicemail, then whenever someone chooses to go to voice mail the dialplan would redirect him to an extention that exists on a server, or if someone want to dial a long distance call the dialplan would redirect him to a server that can has an extension that is located on a server with PTSN trunks ... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You have the basic idea right, the dial plans are limited down to specific functions to be provided and then told how to connect to other features. For example you might have a box that only provide PSTN connectivity so all calls come in and the dial plan routes the calls to another box or boxes. I prefer to use Dundi in larger setups to avoid multiple IAX trunks having to be configured.

I would avoid IAX and use SIP if at all possible.

Hi, Steve Totaro schrieb:> I would avoid IAX and use SIP if at all possible. > > Thanks, > Steve TotaroCan you some reasons for this? Would interest me a lot why SIP is better in a large Enviroment. than IAX. Kind regards, Tobias

Are you asking if Asterisk has a built-in clustering mechanism somewhere in its own application stack? The answer is no. Otherwise, the answer to "how" to distribute Asterisk is to ... distribute Asterisk. No, seriously; split up the users according to multiple servers and/or assign them dynamically, route using a SIP proxy functioning as a load balancer, and other things you do when setting up some sort of farm without extensive built-in parallelisation options. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599

Whoa - you need some highly reliable, TELCO quality iron with some 1st class support for that. Do you realize what your "downtime" in that environment would would cost you ? Look, * is cool , fun an customizeable etc. But it IS NOT carrier grade hardware and it is NOT software produced in Certified Software Enviroment with a Certified CMM rating. Yes -its cool and neat and cheap. But for that big of a set up you need a whole different kind of solution>> Is Asterisk practically stable and reliable for a larg Enterprise has say a >> 10000 phones , is there any case study like this? >> _______________________________________________ >> -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- >> >> asterisk-users mailing list >> To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: >> >> http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > >
